Vivo had unveiled its latest X200 series smartphones in its home market a week back and the official sale began two days before in the country for the X200 and X200 Pro models. Following the commencement of the official sale, the brand has rolled out new software updates for its X200 and X200 Pro flagships. In related news, Vivo has also announced that its omni-channel sales of X200 series have exceeded CNY 2 billion.

Here’s more about it.

X200 and X200 Pro – Major Software Updates

The new updates for the X200 and X200 Pro smartphones bring certain improvements to the devices with respect to the Small V Search function and camera performance. For the vanilla X200 smartphone, the update has a firmware version of ‘PD2415_A_15.0.15.17.W10.V000L1’ and has a size of 2.02 GB. The X200 Pro update has firmware version – ‘PD2405B_A_15.0.15.11.W10.V000L1’, with a size of 1.17 GB.

About the changelogs, in terms of the Small V Search function, users of the two devices will be able to long press the screen or system navigation to easily access it. In the X200 smartphone, with the update, a new large model image quality enhancement algorithm will be added to make telephoto photography better. Optimizations have also been brought to improve clarity of camera during video call in third-party applications, to improve video stabilization in movie mode, and to improve the smoothness while switching between different camera modes.

In the X200 Pro device too, as mentioned, the brand has added the function of long pressing the screen or system navigation to easily access Small V Search, along with camera improvements such as added ‘More’ option to jump between shooting scenes, front and rear camera optimizations, Dolby Vision optimizations, and optimizations for color and focus clarity in rear portrait, telephoto, stage, and landscape modes. It can thus be understood that the two updates are mainly to improve the camera functions and offer a better flagship level camera performance.

Also, just to add, in the community page, a user of the X200 Pro smartphone has pointed out that in his particular piece, glue has overflowed towards the edges of the device. To his reply, another user revealed that his model doesn’t have any such issues, however, he adds that the in-hand feel of the device is a bit uncomfortable. Again, it seems that in the offline stores, BOE display models were made available, while in the online stores, the Visionox versions are being sold. In comparison, the Visionox models are criticized as they don’t meet the expectations of users and is being considered as a failure.

Here is more to it.

Vivo X200 Pro Global Variant

According to him, we can expect a 6.7-6.8″ display featuring a 1.5K resolution with narrow edges and a micro-curved display on all four sides. He also mentioned an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor and a new silicon battery configuration, expected to be a 6,000 mAh battery.

The rest of the information is still under wraps, but we hope to see similar specs for the global variant, as was the case with the X100 series.
